16:45 hrs IST: Speaking after the end of the day’s play, Murali Vijay says, “I did not think too much about the short-pitched deliveries. The way Virat started was fantastic and the way he ended was even more amazing. The pitch has a lot of assistance for the spinners, hopefully our bowlers can get more.”

16:35 hrs IST: That is stumps and India are on 451/7, a lead of 51 and Kohli is on 147*. It has been brilliant from the skipper and thanks to his unbeaten 87-run stand with Jayant Yadav, India are on top against England.

12:56 hrs IST: WICKET! Karun Nair falls and England are fighting back. Although, I must add, it looked very close.

Moeen floats this delivery from round the wicket and it straightens, Karun looks to defend but the ball hits the pad, England appeal but umpire Oxenford is unmoved, England review and there is no conclusive proof of an inside edge, after a long time, umpire Shamshuddin decides that there is no edge and the ball is hitting leg stump, Karun falls.

Ravichandran Ashwin’s six-star show on Friday put Virat Kohli’s team in a good position but the onus is now on Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara, who have already put together a century stand to thwart the England bowlers. Vijay was unbeaten on 70 and Pujara on 47 not out with India on 146 for one at close on day 2, still 254 runs behind.

The ball is 52 overs old and Alastair Cook will look up to his two spinners Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali to turn the team’s fortunes. The Wankhede wicket has been a fair one and the outcome on day 3 will almost certainly dictate how the Test pans out.
